Practice notes (J&C)

This group is accounting, bookkeeping, drawing up of statements of accounts, business auditing, financial auditing, tax planning, tax filing, invoicing and payroll preparation. Official notes: business auditing, tax planning, tax-filing services and financial auditing are similar to tax-auditing services in 3602; invoicing is cross-searched with 3506 in the 12th and earlier editions.

Accounting and tax-agency firms use this group as their core and should include 3602 (Class 36) in their prior search; in 2026 the note to Class 42 deleted the exclusion “business auditing (Class 35)”, which does not affect classification in this group (practical tip). No additions or deletions to this group in 2026.
